A Catered Affair

The NFCT’s 2023-2024 season begins with the musical A Catered Affair with a book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by John Bucchino. Bob Kaplan directs.

Wonder of the World: Jan. 19-Feb. 4

Wonder of the World

JANUARY 19 – FEBRUARY 4
Nothing will prepare you for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband’s sweater drawer. It is so shocking that our heroine has no choice but to flee to the honeymoon capital of the world in a frantic search for the life she thinks she missed out on. It’s a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives, and a strange caper.

Directed by Robert Horn and produced by Kim Cappiello.

Follies

MAY 16 – JUNE 2
Winner of seven Tony Awards in 1972, Follies is a multi-layered story that has been called Sondheim’s greatest masterpiece. Filled with tart sentiment, Follies takes place on the eve of the destruction of the historic but now derelict Weissman Theater, as former Follies girls gather one last time on the stage. Two couples with romantically entangled past reunite, as well as former showgirls singing their old numbers and confronting past regrets and misplaced hopes.
